  • Oh hey, I heard the funding for that dried up. … Because I went looking for ways to not spend $50/mo for a working phone while I’m sleeping in somebody’s closet and have no income 🙃 Happen to know people who don’t even have the closet, but I’m sure they don’t need phone service either.

    [Maximum Sarcasm] I’m sure the money’s going somewhere more important, though.

    Hey, how many gig workers are barely scraping by and need programs like this or everybody’s Uber Eats orders are gonna uber eat dirt? Just a thought. Maybe taking a little care of the people at the bottom who prop up everything else is kinda asinine to not do. Grr, I say.









  • “could lead to faster, more efficient”

    Ooh, ooh, game engines? No. Physics models? Nope, not that. Cryptography, maybe useful against the coming Quantum Cryptodoom™ ? No, not that either. DSP? Image compression? Something? Hmmmm, what could benefit from faster matrix maths? What one singular thing could be so important that- it’s a meme, of course it’s a freaking meme. Ayyy Aaaiiiiyyyeeee must be the only possible thing of interest because that’s the latest meme fad thing >:( grumble grumble grouch bite et cetera

    Yes, I will hate every single meme-fad-thing as it happens unless it involves kittens. Or maybe one of a few other things, but NOT THAT. Hmph! Grr! And so on!






  • You want everyone to know all of the ethical concerns involved in every kind of product, from its contents to its manufacture, transportation, packaging, et cetera? We’ll all be full-time students for decades before being allowed into a Walmart, I guess. Maybe that’ll bring back smaller shops, with only a Master’s degree in Ethical Shopping required.

    For reference, a quick search turns up estimates of 120,000+ product SKUs on Walmart shelves. Kindof a lot to keep track of, no? And no, you’re not permitted to respond with some “Oh, just don’t be stuck in a shitty life/place where you’re stuck buying corporate ‘products’” crap or else I will post a vomiting emoji at you.

    There’s a lot of stuff to keep track of and “free” time is intentionally kept minimal so maybe don’t blame people for not knowing their shampoo is environmentally unethical whilst they’re worrying about their car that’s in the shop because the airbags are more lethal than most crashes, they’re just now learning to avoid potatoes in their diet ( 😭 ), their boss is making them work asinine hours, and they’re still busy researching the sixty thousand products from the left half of the only shop in their area.

    tl;dr: How the roasted goat bollocks is anyone supposed to “know better” for absolutely everything in life? Maybe it’s fair to hope for some help on these things.
